Ive had my 408 handycam for about a year now and I have probably drove my friends and relatives mad with my constant filming and my re showing of get to gethers, holidays etc. The handycam cost £345.00 when I bought it which may seem expensive but you get alot for your money. Included in the kit is: Battery charger Shoulder strap A Hi8 tape 21 pin scart adapter A/V connecting cable InfoLithium battery. A 2.5 LCD Screen The camera has a 560x digital zoom which means you really can see a gnats whotsits from a mile away. It also has steady shot facility(for those of us with shaky hands). It has a night vision mode so you can film in total darkness, as well as a very bright .nightshot light. The amount of extras on this camera are to numerous to list as it would probably make for a boring op,But I must point out that the battery when fully charged (takes 1 hour) will last for 2 hours of continuous use. I found it much easier to just try the camera out and only use the manual when I needed to.
